New to forum

[txlaw]

I am new to the forum but not new to deuce ownership. I decided to join for the wealth of knowledge that is on this forum and would like to thank everyone who has contributed. I am the owner of a bobbed deuce named the tease. Some of you may remember it being advertised for sale on this forum. So far owning it has been a blast and it has been very reliable. The only thing that I had changed on it is, it now has a true auto AC system in it that works great. I look forward to using the knowledge on this forum to trouble shoot problems that

may arise. The driver's side door handle just broke so I will be taking it apart tomorrow. However the truck has everything on it that I wanted. I just added bows and a tarp and it will probably get a power steering kit added in the next year.

Welcome to the site from Kansas and that is quite the kooky camo job. Two things please add your state to your profile, it helps when you need help and also for others to know there are other near them that share the MV sickness, also if you post your pictures through the site they will always be here for others to enjoy.

I think I'm missing something here. Is our new member invisible?

 

[Jeepsinker]

I was thinking the same thing. Shortest introduction I've seen yet. Site wouldn't even let me post on this thread earlier.

Mules can see into the future, he knows there is a new guy out there.

 

[Warthog]

Fixed the issue. His post was set to moderated because of the link he included. The system flagged it.

If its the outside door handle, thats easy. Pull 2 screws and replace it.

If its the inside door handle, thats more complicated. Let me know what you got.

Welcome from Kansas City, MO. I replaced both of my door latch mechanisms. Remove the outer handle. Remove the panel on the botton, inside of the door. Remove the screws on the inside and edge of the door. Reach up and slide out the old mechanism. Before I installed my new ones I packed them with wheel bearing grease to help insure smooth, rust free operation.

What's your location?

Ha! I know your truck, watched it being built, and painted.

If anyone gives you a hard time about the "camo", remind them that most of it was painted by a girl.

Cheers

Okay I added my location. Been out deer hunting last few days. Thanks for the info on the door handle, I will probably look into that in a few days. It was the outside handle that broke. Today's project was smoking deer and tuna jerky and putting away hunting gear until next year. My next day off will be spent changing oil, oil filters and fuel filters on the deuce. Also fixing the door handle.
